Today, after some shopping me and my husky went to a christmas market. Actually we wanted to visit the one in Königstein, but silly me found the wrong "Königstein" in the north, rather then the one nearby. So we spontanously went to the christmasmarket at the Ronneburg. Was a great day out there and finally after such long time in bed was a very welcome change of curtains. Safe for the freezing cold it also was a lot of fun. We went walking through the relatively few visitors in medieval clothes and ate some tasty potato pastries and also found a great herbalist shop.
There we tries to find a special aroma, I realy love. It is one I smelled back in Erding in the Spa. There they have a huge house with a modern built stonehenge in it and the wood, in combination with the massive monolithic stoneblocks emits a special scent that touches something deep inside of me and makes me feel extremely drawn to it. When I was there with Tillikum and Sarno I couldn't get enougth of that scent grinns So... at the herbalist shop we tried to sniff all different wood types and narrowed it down to red ashwood or styrax. Funny thing was, that by accident I smelled a Cinamon flavour as well and nearly instantly jumped to it. It smelled so much like the one I remembered from there. After a long while spent there and a lot of fun we went from there with two cylinders of flavours and a happy wagging dwaggie, as my husky made those flavours as a christmas present for me
After finding the flavours we went inside the keep to warm up a bit and got stuck at the candymakers shop. Tillikum never had seen how handcrafted candy was made.. so we spend a long while there, watching the old lady making candy by hand. And in the end went out with loads of free candy and funny tales about candymaking.
A beautiful weekend.. truely. Thank you, Tillikum snug
Yea, it was very interesting to see how candy is (hand)made. The nice lady also keept telling us things about her ex-husband and how wussy he is, that was strange ^^ But the candy tasted really good and i also snatched a lollypop for my dragon ^.^ wags
